stolen from @dougthonus: Larry Bird has now won rookie of the year, MVP, Finals MVP, All Star MVP, coach of the year, and executive of the year. Pretty amazing.
I'm not sure but soccer's aspergery post of a bunch of box score inks without taking into account how long and consistently Jordan made deep playoff runs was clearly to make it seem like a big number.
From another NBA great: 19 points on 18 shots in an elimination game. 30 points on 30 shots in an elimination game. 25 points on 22 shots in an elimination game. 31 points on 27 shots in an elimination game. 21 points on 25 shots in a closeout game. 25 points on 24 shots in a closeout game. 23 points on 19 shots in a closeout game. 22 points on 19 shots in a closeout game. 24 points on 23 shots in a closeout game. 28 points on 31 shots in a closeout game. 39 points on 35 shots in a closeout game. 28 points on 25 shots in a Game 7. 28 points on 26 shots in a closeout game including an airballed three-pointer at the buzzer. Yeah but. This isnt a lot of "bad" games at all though when you make deep playoff runs almost every year
